James began work as a tape-op at Lansdowne
studios, London, in 1989. He gained a great deal of experience
in recording and mixing
techniques
from Lansdowne's wide-ranging roster of clients. He moved to CTS studios,
Wembley in 1993 as a house engineer where an array of differing musical
projects from, pop and rock 'n roll, to, orchestral, TV & film,
jazz, and voice-over work honed James' skill as a diverse and adaptable
recording and mix engineer.

Now working as a freelance engineer, having recorded in many different
studios, James is adept at programming and mixing in "project" environments.
However he still maintains the orchestral and "where-to stick-a-mic" techniques
learnt from over 20 years experience of recording some of the best
musicians, in the best studios, in the world.
